Pam Anderson does book signing on UWS

Not many people were in attendance for Pam Anderson’s book signing.

PAM’S QUIET BOOK NOOK FOR MOMS

Pam Anderson and her longtime personal photographer and BFF Emma Dunlavey hit the Upper West Side Barnes & Noble, where there wasn’t much of a crowd to greet the former “Baywatch” beauty as she promoted her new book. But it wasn’t her fault. The bookstore, one of the last remaining in the city, only added her to the appearance schedule the day before.

Anderson was there to promote her book, “RAW,” a photo collaboration with Dunleavy, in which proceeds go to the Pamela Anderson Foundation, which supports human, animal and environmental rights.

“The managers quickly corralled mothers and children into the seats to have a respectable audience number for her,” one source at the store tells Confidenti@l. “Pam got on the topic of her son Brandon, who she seems to be having some difficulty with and is growing into an adult and having growing pains.”

Longtime Anderson pal Chuck Zito, who will be moving to Las Vegas full-time next week, acted as security for Pam, we’re told.

The book, released on Sept. 1, is filled with poetry by Anderson scattered amid more than 10 years’ worth of pictures snapped by Dunlavey.

AN UN-MEATING OF THE MINDS

Michael Strahan is a lean machine — and he eats vegan. The former Giants Hall of Famer and current ABC talk show host was spotted at By Chloe restaurant in the West Village on Wednesday night. And we’re told that he 6-foot-5 gentle giant visited the vegan eatery with celebrity chef Michael Symon, who described his own cooking as “meat-centric.” The pair arrived just after “Orange is the New Black” star Taylor Schilling had finished lunch.

Kanye West says he’ll be running for President in 2016.

Kanye West tells Vanity Fair that his declaration to run for President in 2020 has changed the way he’s perceived by the public. “As soon as I said that, it was like, ‘Wait a second, we would really be into that,” West quotes no one in particular as saying — about himself. “‘If you think about it, (said unidentified person is said to have said) he’s extremely thoughtful. Every time he’s ever gotten in trouble, he was really jumping in front of a bullet for someone else. He’s probably the most honest celebrity that we have.’”

KATIE’S DOUBLE DIPPING

The former “Today” co-workers dined on shrimp, crabmeat cocktail, sirloin steak, grilled salmon, veal chops, Benjamin’s famous home fries, creamed spinach and mushrooms, we’re told, before finishing off dinner with bourbon pecan pie and key lime pie. One insider tells us the duo emailed owner Benjamin Prelvukaj to gush over the meal, saying they’d be back soon.
